TVsee

TVsee is a technology that allows television signals to be viewed on a computer. It typically involves a hardware tuner card installed in a computer or a USB device that connects to the computer. This hardware captures the television broadcast signal, which is then processed and displayed on the computer's monitor through specialized software. The software often provides features such as channel scanning, program guides, and recording capabilities, similar to a digital video recorder (DVR).

Early iterations of TVsee technology focused on analog television broadcasts. With the transition to digital television, TVsee has adapted to support digital terrestrial television (DTT) standards like ATSC in North America or DVB in Europe and other regions. This digital support often includes high-definition (HD) viewing. Some TVsee solutions also offer the ability to access cable television channels through appropriate tuners, though this can be dependent on encryption and licensing. The primary benefit of TVsee is its flexibility, allowing users to integrate television viewing into their computer-based activities and potentially centralize media consumption.
